Résumé

Résumé : Abraham Lincoln: A Play by John Drinkwater is a dramatic portrayal of the life and challenges faced by Abraham Lincoln during his presidency, particularly focusing on the period leading up to and during the American Civil War. The play opens in Lincoln's home in Springfield, Illinois, where he is approached by a delegation offering him the Republican nomination for the presidency. Despite his awareness of the immense challenges, including the looming threat of secession by the Southern states, Lincoln accepts the nomination, driven by his commitment to preserving the Union and his moral opposition to slavery. As the narrative progresses, Lincoln's presidency is marked by the tension between his cabinet members and the pressures from both the North and South. The play highlights Lincoln's steadfastness and moral clarity, particularly in his dealings with his Secretary of State, William H. Seward, and representatives from the Confederate states. Lincoln's resolve is tested as he navigates the complexities of change during a time of national crisis, emphasizing his dedication to the principles of the Union and the abolition of slavery. The play also delves into Lincoln's personal life, portraying his relationship with his wife, Mary Todd Lincoln, and the domestic challenges they face amidst the political turmoil. Drinkwater's work is a tribute to Lincoln's character, illustrating his humility, wisdom, and the profound loneliness of transformation. Through its exploration of Lincoln's internal and external conflicts, the play offers a poignant reflection on the burdens of change and the enduring struggle for justice and unity.
